An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook's Battle for Domination by Cecilia Kang, Sheera Frenkel

4.0

This was an informative and glaring dive into how deeply toxic and mismanaged Facebook is. I appreciated how the authors detailed and explored dozens of examples of the systemic issues that started the minute “Facesmash” was released online right up to January 6th. It’s a timely read for right now. My only critique of the book is that they bounced all around between different years and it was hard to keep track of where we were in FB’s considerable fuck ups. But that doesn’t take away from the reporting or the book at all. Still a must read, and I recommend it to anyone interested and invested in tech.
